Životní smysluplnost a emocionalita

The connection between emotionality and meaningfulness of life is often discussed nowadays. Some research results suggest a connection. The goal of our research was to place the problematic of meaningfulness of life into the context of human emocionality and to find out if there is a connection between subjectively experienced meaningfulness and human emocionality. Questionnaires were used as a method of data collection: Logo-test, the questionnaire of life meaningfullness and the PANAS-X test (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule - Expanded Form). The questionnaires were distributed among university students (N=120). To prove the stated hypothesis methods of descriptive statistics were used. The research suggests that both positive and negative emotions are closely associated with perceived existential frustration.
